Van Dijk has made clear that the Merseyside club's poor showing in the previous season is not a benchmark the side intends to repeat. The centre-back, speaking to media ahead of the new campaign, emphasised the need for collective effort to restore Liverpool to the standards expected at the club.
The captain's comments reflect the determination within the squad to move past what has been widely regarded as a frustrating period. Liverpool's squad, bolstered by recruitment efforts, is preparing for a fresh start with ambitions of returning to form.
Van Dijk's leadership in defence has been crucial to Liverpool's previous successes, and his public call for improvement signals the mentality the club hopes to instil across all departments this season. The focus now turns to converting determination into results on the pitch as the campaign gets underway.
